Since prawn and smoked salmon are ready-to-eat and easily available to buy from supermarkets, they become a good combination for the rice paper roll seafood banquet for a family meal. It happens when a family makes rice paper rolls as the main meal at home.

Fish rice paper rolls

Fish is also a good choice for the main protein for the rice paper rolls. You will wrap yourself the rolls with cooked fish in a Vietnamese restaurant or at a Vietnamese family meal. The popular methods to cook fish for rice paper rolls are steaming, grilling, and deep-frying. The most significant factor in this dish is the freshness of the fish. Fish are almost still alive before cooking. Therefore, there is almost no seasoning. Fish are quickly cleaned with water, then they are steamed, grilled, or deep-fried. The cooked fish is then served with vegetables, fruits, herbs, and dipping sauce. This way of eating is very popular among families in the Mekong Delta river’s areas.
